March 6, 2024, marked 38 months since the tumultuous attack on the U.S. Capitol, and even as the primary instigator of the events of January 6, 2021, former President Donald Trump moves to clinch the GOP presidential nomination, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said it remains committed to holding those responsible accountable.

Under the continued leadership of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the FBI’s Washington Field Office, officials said the investigation into the Capitol breach has progressed at an unprecedented speed and scale. As of October 14, 2022, the losses resulting from the attack, which disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress attempting to certify President Joe Biden’s victory, are estimated at approximately $2.9 million.

The DOJ said its resolve to prosecute those who committed crimes on that fateful day remains steadfast. According to public court documents on the Capitol Breach Investigation Resource Page, more than 1,358 defendants have been charged in nearly all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Criminal charges range from assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers to entering or remaining in a restricted federal building or grounds. Notably, approximately 140 police officers were assaulted during the attack, including officers from the U.S. Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department.

Five officers eventually died following the mob attack.

The breakdown of criminal charges includes:

Approximately 486 defendants were charged with assaulting officers or employees.
Eleven individuals were arrested for attacking members of the media.
More than 350 defendants have been charged with obstructing official proceedings.

Regarding pleas, approximately 769 individuals have pleaded guilty to various federal charges, the DOJ noted in a news release. Of these, 238 have pleaded guilty to felonies, including federal charges of assaulting law enforcement officers and felonious obstruction during a civil disorder. A total of 95 individuals have pleaded guilty to assaulting law enforcement officers, with 130 sentenced to prison terms of up to 151 months.

Trials have resulted in 152 individuals being found guilty, with 81 convicted of assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers and/or obstructing officers during a civil disorder.

Sentencing is ongoing, with approximately 497 federal defendants sentenced to periods of incarceration and 164 sentenced to home detention. Notably, one individual has been sentenced to more than 14 years in prison for assaulting officers.

The twice-impeached and four-times indicted former president has continued to force delays in the prosecution of the 91 felony charges he faces, many of which stem from his alleged role in the Capitol attack.

Despite his alleged crimes, which also include sexual assault, business fraud, and trading favors with foreign enemies, Trump emerged victorious on Super Tuesday, catapulting him ever closer to a rematch with Biden in the November general election.

Meanwhile, the FBI said it continues to seek public assistance in identifying individuals involved in the January 6 attack, with citizens from around the country already providing invaluable help. The FBI currently has ten videos of suspects wanted for violent assaults on federal officers, including those who assaulted members of the media on January 6.

Among the individuals the FBI is seeking public tips to identify or locate are Evan Neumann, Adam Villarreal, and Paul Belosic, who allegedly were involved in violent altercations with law enforcement officers during the attack. The FBI encourages the public to visit fbi.gov/capitol violence to view photos and videos and provide any information that may aid these ongoing investigations.

“We have deployed our full investigative resources and are working closely with our federal, state, and local partners to aggressively pursue those involved in these criminal activities,” the DOJ said in the news release.

NFL: Week Two Recap | Jalen Hurts did not fold; Caleb Williams exits game with injury

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts found Darius Cooper with nine seconds left for the game winning touchdown as his team beat the Tennessee Titans 24-20 in Nashville. Hurts finished the day 26/37 for 264 yards. He threw for two touchdowns and two interceptions. Prior to the final drive, the Eagles ran 25 plays for 45 […]

Prior to the final drive, the Eagles ran 25 plays for 45 yards. During the final drive Hurts went 6-8 with 61 passing yards and the touchdown. Titans defensive tackle — and team captain — Jeffery Simmons said this week that the way to defend Jalen Hurts is to make him “play quarterback.”

Hurts said to Simmons after today’s game: “You started that sh**. I had to finish it.”

Running back Saquon Barkley suffered a stinger in the first half but he ultimately finished the game. He had four carries and nine yards and one catch for eleven yards. He will get an MRI for his injury, but admitted to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network he was fine.

Caleb Williams leaves game against Vikings with apparent lower-body injury

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was helped off the field with a right leg injury with 7:42 remaining in the fourth quarter. Williams was down, writhing in pain after scrambling to his left. After departing the injury tent, Williams raised his right fist, acknowledging the crowd while expressing his frustration. Testing will commence on Monday to find out more details about his injury.

“We’ll know tomorrow,” Johnson admitted regarding Williams’ injury. “He’s in good spirits. He’s a team player.”

Williams finished the day with 138 passing yards and one interception.

“I’m actually happy it’s nothing with the knee — that was my first inclination,” Johnson said. “But, a hamstring could be pretty damaging as well. So, we’ll see. We’ll see how bad it is tomorrow and we’ll go from there.”

Bryce Young once again dominated the Falcons

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is 5-1 against the Atlanta Falcons and is undefeated at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Today, Young threw for 287 yards and three touchdowns as he led the Panthers to a 34-3 dismembering of the Atlanta Falcons. Georgia Tech alumnus Darren Waller caught two touchdowns and linebacker Devin Lloyd returned one of his two interceptions for a touchdown.

Cooper Rush started his second straight game for the Falcons and it did not go well. The partisan crowd voiced their displeasure after Rush completed 10/17 passes for 86 yards and two interceptions. Jack Strand entered the game for Rush prompting cheers from the Falcons fans. The rookie threw a pick-six on his first career pass attempt. Strand was the first QB to accomplish that feat since Sam Darnold in 2018 and is the first Falcons player to do that since Brett Favre in 1991. Strand finished the day with 59 passing yards and 16 rushing yards.

According to reports, quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. is expected to make his season debut this Thursday at the Green Bay Packers. His return should help the Falcons. They are the first team since the 2008 Rams to not run any plays in the red zone after the first two games to open a season.

The bright spots for the Falcons today were the Spelman College Jaguarettes performing with the Falcons cheerleaders and Florida A&M’s marching band, The Marching 100, also performed during halftime!

Jayden Daniels gets carted off after apparent arm injury

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels appeared to injure his left elbow on the final play of the first half in his game against the Dallas Cowboys. During the play, Daniels got stepped on, braced himself for the fall, and his elbow bent the wrong way. Daniels draped a towel over his head as he exited the field on the cart.

He was later ruled out.

Daniels suffered a dislocated elbow to the same arm during week nine of last season against the Washington Commanders, which led to him being shut down for the remainder of the season.
